What Darwinian theory shows us is that all human races are extremely close to each other. None of them is in any sense ancestral to any other; none of them is more primitive than any other. We are all modern races of exactly equal status, evolutionarily speaking.

From Richard Dawkins

I didn't know children were expected to have literary heroes, but I certainly had one, and I even identified with him at one time: Doctor Dolittle, whom I now half identify with the Charles Darwin of Beagle days.

From Richard Dawkins

There does seem to be a sense in which physics has gone beyond what human intuition can understand.

We can't cope with the very tiny scale of quantum physics or the very large scale of relativity.

From Richard Dawkins

Compassionate doctors sometimes lie to patients about the severity of their condition, and it is not always wrong to do so.

From Richard Dawkins

Don't feel embarrassed if you've never heard of William Lane Craig. He parades himself as a philosopher, but none of the professors of philosophy whom I consulted had heard his name, either.

From Richard Dawkins
